notes on using the linux laptop

• not since 2000, some dell "latitude"?
• looked at thinkpad x1
  • terrible reviews
  • ugly eraser is still there
  • for a "linux laptop", didn't seem to care much about linux
  • as a hardware mfctr, you can't ask me to go download an install cd and dig up custom drivers off random websites for you. that's your responsibility.
• 2 things i wanted PC laptops to have fixed since 2000:
• sleep works (you can close the lid) without hard-crashing or requiring a power-off

/*
 * zbase64 converts an array of integers to a string, and back.
 * it assumes:
 *   - no integer will be bigger than about 2**24
 *   - most will be close to zero, small positive or negative numbers
 *   - the strings may be copy/pasted, or have poor (or zero) unicode support
 *
 * strategy:
 *   - zig-zag encode to turn small negative numbers into small positive
 *     numbers

My thoughts after watching the entire 12 minutes of "Child's Play" by Drake.

His (ex) girlfriend looks immaculate. He doesn't deserve her. He comes across as an asshole in his own video -- why did he write this? Does he think we'll think he's cool if he's cheating on his anniversary? He left his phone unlocked on the table while he left? Does that mean he was playing with his phone during their anniversary dinner?

(Rus thinks the fact that she's much too good for him is the point, and that he's bragging about how terrible he is.)

Who the fuck takes their girl to Cheesecake Factory for their anniversary?

Is he making fun of people who are so poor that they go to Cheesecake Factory? Just because he's a millionaire?
